GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Visitors to the RE· exhibition inside Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University’s
(KCAD’s) The Fed Galleries @ KCAD during the opening weekend of ArtPrize Eight will
have the chance to leave with more than just their impressions of the art.

“The Pop-Up Shop extends our exhibition’s exploration of environmental and social
responsibility because it gives both ArtPrize visitors and those who created the goods
another way to confront the way we produce and consume,” said Curator of Exhibitions
Michele Bosak. “By working with Goodwill to showcase the tremendous versatility and
value of reclaimed materials, we can help further the conversation around ways to
work toward a more sustainable future.”

A number of unaltered items specially curated from Goodwill stores will also be available
for purchase, as will t-shirts commemorating the partnership between Goodwill and
KCAD. Silkscreened t-shirts, pillows, and washcloths featuring designs by artists
Michael Peoples and Heather Joy Puskarich, both featured in the RE· exhibition, will also be for sale.

All proceeds from the sale of goods created by KCAD students will go to the student
organizations they represent – the student fashion alliance Bodies of Art, the KCAD
Green Council, the KCAD Game Club, the student chapter of the Interior Designers Society
of America, and the student chapter of the International Interior Design Association
– while Goodwill will retain the profits for all other goods sold.

The Pop-Up Shop’s retail space was designed by a KCAD Collaborative Design class taught
by KCAD instructor and Goodwill Director of Friends and Corporate Relations David
Abbott. The space will be located outside The Fed Galleries @ KCAD, in the Woodbridge
N. Ferris building at 17 Pearl Street NW.
